This year at LSAF, we had the unique experience of dozens of buyers ready to pull the trigger on demo gear. While this is normal for shows, the past handful of years we have had guys genuinely interested but unable to load the gun. This gave me hope that our economy was starting to turn.
A few days later, I visited with a client and it appears his luxury watch business is doing quite well. I then visited my father's business where they do custom high-end jewelry work. Their job boxes are overflowing and they are about to hire another jeweler to help with the orders.
These three luxury arenas doing so well has me question whether this is just a local boom or is it on a much larger scale. Many of you are more keen than I on these topics, so I figured I would extend the question to the forum. How are the economy and luxury product markets doing these days?
